confused about lvm uefi partition requirements

linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I think your EFI partition must be outside the lvm. As far as I know, you cannot include that partition in the lvm itself because the firmware needs to find the ESP and it will not know about lvm and such./boot can just be a sub-directory of / in the lvm. (Assuming you are not encrypting the disk, of course.) cfr https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=54639 2013-03-07T00:18:10Z (HowTos)

Stories similar to confused about lvm uefi partition requirements

What do you mean your /mnt partition? You should be installing to your / partition which you have mounted (in the live environment) at /mnt. /mnt is just a directory where you mount things.

Another reason may be that you want to use a GPT partition map and that your firmware doesn't like GPT+BIOS for some reason.

I a little confused got a new pc and I'll be installing in the uefi manner with lvm on luks and  with the efi system partition having the kernel and initramfs copied over will that completely serve as my boot partition or do i still need an unencrypted /boot?

GPT questions 36 weeks 3 days ago

Occasionally, using GPT will make life more difficult. I had a terrible time getting my machine to boot with GPT whereas it was easy with MBR. I think this is relatively unusual, though. For most people, GPT is not much more complicated.Depending on how you plan to boot your machine, you may need to plan your partitions a little more carefully.

Do you have anything on the drive which you need? If so, back it up immediately if you can.Did you mean that you typedmkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1? That's not what you said but it seems somewhat more plausible.Only troubleshoot the drive if you have everything off it that you need.

Boot USB installation as EFI 23 weeks 3 days ago

So it can't setup the loop device?The first one looks like an fs error, though.Do you get the same error with both USB sticks you tried? Did you prepare them in the same way? Are they the same type of stick?
